By contacts, I'm assuming you mean the pins that connect to the junction outlet.

The OVP failure is that the solder joints on the INSIDE of the relay eventually come loose. Some here have cracked the case open and just resoldered the loose joints. I just went ahead and replaced mine...and the fuses and contacts on my old one were fine, btw.
